[RFC PATCH] mtd: add OTP (one-time-programmable) erase ioctl

[Michael Walle <michael@walle.cc>]

This may sound like a contradiction but some SPI-NOR flashes really
support erasing their OTP region until it is finally locked. Having the
possibility to erase an OTP region might come in handy during
development.

The ioctl argument follows the OTPLOCK style.

OTP support for SPI-NOR flashes may be merged soon:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mtd/20210216162807.13509-1-michael@walle.cc/

Tudor suggested to add support for the OTP erase operation most SPI-NOR
flashes have:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mtd/d4f74b1b-fa1b-97ec-858c-d807fe1f9e57@microchip.com/

Therefore, this is an RFC to get some feedback on the MTD side, once this
is finished, I can post a patch for mtd-utils. Then we'll have a foundation
to add the support to SPI-NOR.
